Hafhida, Thanks, I appreciate your comments. I, too , was very shy as a
child. It was difficult for me, too, to relax, and be open and friendly when
meeting new people. My older brother was always more the extrovert type, and
I always found myself wishing I could be make myself more outgoing like that.
I did become more outgoing as I grew up, and could take initiative in
conversations, etc... and ended up marrying an extremely extroverted guy! I
guess we balance each other out! When I was a teacher, I often would have to
speak before groups, and even presented a workshop for about 200 people.
Wow! I came a long way, baby! :) Karen
